Tonight made me Cry

-
What a privilege to work with this year's cast and crew. We realized that last night was our 13th Good News performance and it happened in 2013! A whole bunch of kids gave their hearts to the Lord on the first night as well as a young man coming back to Jesus. A lady in church brought two of her friends to the Good News Production at Harvester Reformational Church, Cape Town and one got saved, the other lady expressed her desire to come back to church again. When I asked them what spoke to them from the play, they said the scene where the main character faced anxiety - Stella's trauma scene. In the storyline the lead role of Stella was interpreted brilliantly by Michelle Louw, 1st year MBC student. God has helped Michelle deal with trauma in her family too after a gruesome car accident losing her sister and father in the process. I believe her suffering has developed a depth in her character beyond her years. Audience members that responded to the call for prayer and healing said "Tonight made me cry..." What makes the event so real is that we write current testimonies and news into the script and Arthur Eiseb stood up and testified about God healing his spine in the past. We then prayed for a whole row of people who had injured spines of some sort last night, the acting prophecy continuing. At church today Hilton testified of back pain healed - another person merely cried and said she did not know exactly how, but God did something in her heart.
When you see people thanking God with tears in their eyes it makes you want to produce some more Good News - maybe some new productions in the near future.
There is a tremendous anointing released through dedicated artists and performers who consecrate their gifts and talents to Jesus and focus every energy to spread the Good News!

I also had the opportunity to perform alongside my brother Hilton Pelser, also 1st year MBC student and we had a few good laughs in the process - he reminded me before the curtain up to make the announcements - which I totally forgot about! Yvette is in America now and she used to do that! I think I'll get the Canadian Jean-Pierre Joubert to make a recording for future performances!
Pastor Samson Ngwira of Harvester Khyalitsha excelled in several Roles including this one of a Mad Man delivered from tormenting spirits.

  Abundance for Every Good Work A good news message for your provision and abundant living in Christ. By Apostle Aje Pelser   Trigger Verse Here is the key verse of Scripture that triggered my fresh understanding of abundance: 2Co 9:8  "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work." The concept of abundance can be confusing. If you think in terms of abundance, that it has storehouses full of everything all the time, it will frustrate you when that is not the case. If you shift your understanding of abundance towards the enabling force of abundance to do every good work God has called you to do, then it is a liberating concept. Stop feeling guilty that you don’t have storehouses full of grain.   Have you read the ‘Parable of the Rich Fool?’ Luk 12:13-21  Then one from the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." “But H...

Dealing with Ministry Key Performance Indicators

A meditation on scriptures dealing with church mandates and indicators for spiritual success. By Apostle Aje Pelser   Key Scripture in self-evaluation of ministry How many ministers reach a place of self-loathing at one point in ministry? It’s often not for a lack of effort and application, devotion and self-sacrifice. This bears the question: “When is a ministry a success?” Furthermore, what are your personal indicators for success? Isaiah 49:4, "Then I said, 'I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and in vain; Yet surely my just reward  is  with the LORD, And my work with my God.' " Something my dad always pointed out: “Where is Jesus’ church that He planted?” If you think about it, Jesus’ closely knit discipleship group was his church. The preaching to the masses came and went. At his moment of crucifixion where were the crowds? John and his mother and his friend Mary were there. Where were his mighty men? What happened to his finances? Where ...

Once in a Blue Moon

 Once in a Blue Moon When the moon is closest to the earth in orbit, it is called a perigee, and the moon therefore appears thirty percent larger than usual. The Christian calendar depends on the phases of the moon to determine Easter or the Paschal Moon, as well as the Lenten moon. In our unique South African context, load shedding coincided with the most wonderful view of our moon on the evening of the 31st of August. Our section of the city had a blackout and thus the moon became the best entertainment on a winter’s night. We went outside and gazed up. Apparently, Saturn was also very close to the moon, although you needed a telescope to see it. A clever astronomer who had the camera lenses and telescopic attachments, managed to snap a photo of the event. Why is it blue? The apparent blue tinge of the moon could be atmospheric effects of water vapour but could also reflect some of the terrace elements of titanium oxide and iron on the moon itself, being made up of similar ...
